Abstract:
Abrasion caused by moving equipment or flowing water can wear away concrete’s surface and render it unfit for service. Kryton International’s Hard-Cem®, an integral hardening admixture based on a unique mineral-metal particle, offers a solution. Its tough microstructure can double the resistance of concrete to abrasive and erosive wear.

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is an advanced cementitious composite material with extraordinary mechanical and durability properties. This article discusses the construction of a short-span bridge using UHPC as well as the cost considerations associated with building an entire bridge with UHPC and reflects on lessons learned from the process.

The Tunkhannock Viaduct stands as a testament of the durability of concrete and the craftsmanship that went into its construction. It was a significant benefit to the region and has been seen as both an important economic gain and feat of engineering for its time. Today, the bridge is still actively contributing to the transportation industry and is in use for freight service.

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a state-of-the-art cementitious composite. Since the concept of this novel concrete mixture emerged in the 1990s, significant advancements have been made with numerous benefits such as high strength, flowability, high post-cracking tensile resistance, improved durability, reduced maintenance, and extended longevity. Currently, UHPC is employed around the globe alongside recently published practice guidelines. Although numerous research projects were undertaken to examine the behavior of UHPC-incorporated structures, there still are many gaps to be explored. Of interest are the development of robust and reliable mixtures and their application to primary load-bearing members for bridges and buildings, including various site demonstration projects that would promote the use of this leading-edge construction material. This Special Publication (SP) contains nine papers selected from three technical sessions held in the ACI Spring Convention in March 2022. All manuscripts were reviewed by at least two experts in accordance with the ACI publication policy. The Editors wish to thank all contributing authors and anonymous reviewers for their rigorous efforts. The Editors also gratefully acknowledge Ms. Barbara Coleman at ACI for her knowledgeable guidance. Yail J.
